5 Owls Story – Jessie’s Journey

Jessie’s journey
In the moon light sky, Alex and I lit the black smoky barbecue. As I sat down, I gazed calmly at the sparkling bright shooting stars above the woodlands (which were inhabited by squirrels.) In the distance, I spotted a light brown fox which ran out of my sight like a cheetah running for its prey. Just then, we saw two cautious looking people, with serious expressions, staring our way. As I turned to look at Alex, I could sense the fear in his eyes. “There’s no time to waste,” Stated Alex urgently,

Utterly joyous, after finding my mirror-one of my most treasured gifts-I felt miserable not to find anything.

After a while, in frustration, I foolishly shattered the valuable mirror, on the brown, laminate flooring in rage. “What was that piercing noise?” bellowed my annoying mum.
